Airports.

Airports. Ah, you have to love them. Most of the time, there are people running like madmen all over the place(especially in the summer), rude and grumpy employees, and suitcase wheels running over your feet. The airport is an interesting place. It can be dangerous too, so always be on your guard.
My recent experience at the airport was... well, curious (I quote Wandmaker Ollivander in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone).
So, we get on the bus from Portland, Maine at 2:30 in the afternoon. There's tons of traffic, and we are anxiously watching Gnomeo and Juliet, listening to ipods, reading, writing, whatever. We don't get to the check-in desk at Boston Logan airport until, let's say, 5:05. We find out our flight is delayed and that we won't make our second flight. So the guy (he was really nice. Nicer than some of the other employees) tries to book us into another flight, which goes to Phoenix, and the second flight goes home. The second flight we would have gotten first class, and we got all excited, we're like, "Ohhh, I've never flown first class before, this should be fun!" But then the computer isn't working, so the guy is on hold with the "help" desk, for at least 30-45 minutes.
The reason I put "help" in quotation marks is because they weren't very helpful. Since we were on hold for so long, we missed our flight to Phoenix. Blah.
By now, we were all frustrated and tired. I swear we were at the check-in desk for an hour.
It's not done yet. So the guy booked us in a flight to Chicago, and then a connecting flight to Sea-tac airport. We are still on that flight, thank God.
We thought we missed the first shuttle, making my mom utter a few cuss words under her breath and making us even more frustrated. But then we figured out it wasn't our shuttle we missed. We felt so dumb.
So we took a shuttle to a Comfort Inn, where we are now. It's a really nice Comfort Inn, too. They're supposedly eco-friendly. Which I think they are, because they don't give you the little plastic bottles of lotion and shampoo, which wastes plastic.
Anyway, that was totally random. So tomorrow morning at 4 o' clock AM, we are catching a shuttle to Boston Logan airport again. But this time (hopefully), we won't miss our flight and get more confusion.
But I learned a lesson.
Next time this happens, have more patience. Because I was so impatient and anxious and it was awful. I kept telling myself, Patience is a virtue, patience is a virtue. But of course that didn't help. That's just something people say to get people to calm down. I just need more patience. That's all I need is patience and I'll make it through future traveling. So everybody, have patience and life will go a lot more smoothly, if it's not going smooth for you right now. Because patience makes everything change. It changes moods, the environment, and lots of other stuff.
Patience is a virtue.
Haha.
